I was asked and I shall answer! This episode is about my journey to having my own business, or more accurately, my own shop. Up until very recently most tattoo artists were self employed and renting chairs at shops. California law changed and now most people "renting chairs" are employees of the business. 

For me it was a long and fairly organic process, from apprenticing and working at my first shop, to my second, and then to moving on into my private studio in SF and then finding my current space in San Leandro. Each step of growth was scary, but I was ready for it. Tune in for the details. Thank you for listening!
